Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Milk (or plant-based milk for vegan option)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (or vegan butter)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Vegetarian ground 'beef' or crumbles
- 2 cups Green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 Egg (or flaxseed egg for vegan option)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Warm the milk until lukewarm (about 110°F) and mix in the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, remaining sugar, butter, and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the vegetarian ground 'beef' to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce, water, and black pepper. Cook until the cabbage is softened and the mixture is well-combined, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a disc about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cabbage and 'beef' filling in the center of each disc. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a football or oval shape.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the piroshki seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with the beaten egg (or flaxseed egg) for a golden finish.
Bake the piroshki for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your vegetarian traditional 'beef' and cabbage piroshki warm or at room temperature!
